Space bar not working as enter during command input

[AutoMarcus]

Hi All

Anyone have a solution please?

when in a command and prompted for input, if I input then hit space, the command process ends, however it works if i hit enter.

I have had this issue once before, I cant seem to find any solutions online. Not sure how it was previously solved

Hello @AutoMarcus 

Please type in the command "PICKFIRST" and check if it's set to "1". Also, try docking the command line.

Hi,

you re-started your computer and it is still an issue?

Does it happen in all commands, or in only some of them?  The nature of appropriate "input" can differ greatly depending on what the command is and where you are in it.  Does that kind of difference enter into it?

Hi Kent. it seems to be happening for all commands.

I have tried pickfirst , that was set to 1, tried restarting pc, I will have a look at resetting my profile, someone recently suggested my profile was corrupt

1. Check keyboard settings.
2. Try another keyboard to rule out hardware issues.
3. Update keyboard drivers.
4. Look for software conflicts, especially third-party applications.
5. Check accessibility settings.
6. Update or reinstall the command-line interface (CLI) if applicable.
7. Ensure your operating system is up to date.
8. Double-check the syntax of the command for any specific space bar requirements.

Maybe a CUI reset may also work:

Or type CUI and find ENTER in the Command List; than replace the (;) under Properties/Macro with a single tap of the space bar.

Hit Key icon on command bar... select "input search options" and reduce on the very down left the option of "suggestion list delay time" to 100 (300 should be the default one)... press okay and happy days... 

The problem is when you move the command bar or reduce the size, so it is let's say detached... that is where the problem comes from in cas it has started to stop working you space key...

Thanks a lot! It turned out to be the outdated keyboard driver. Updated it and voila it started working!!
